DMRC warns passengers against making social media reels on trains, stations
"Metro is for travel, not for trends. So next time, let's not make reels or encourage them — because a smooth, safe journey matters more than a few seconds of fame," the DMRC said in a post on X.

In the post, DMRC also shared a poster featuring a graphic of a man singing with a guitar at a metro station. The poster is titled 'No reels on the wheels' and captioned 'Your performance deserves a better stage'.
DMRC shared two more posters under the same theme. One shows a girl dancing, with the message: "Dance like nobody's watching — just not on the metro." The other depicts a man listening to music on headphones, accompanied by the line: "Metro, ek safar hai suhana... jab na ho loud gaana bajana."
According to news agency PTI, DMRC has also put up these posters at several metro stations, urging passengers not to make reels or create discomfort for others.
Anyone found drunk, misbehaving, or causing inconvenience to fellow passengers on the Delhi Metro can be fined up to ₹500, as per Section 59(1) of the Offences and Penalties under the Delhi Metro Railway (Operation and Maintenance) Act, 2002. In addition, violators may also lose their fare or ticket, and authorised metro officials can remove them from the train or station premises.
The law states that passengers found in a state of drunkenness, creating a nuisance, spitting, sitting on the floor of the train, or quarrelling with others may be penalised.

West Bengal govt mandates screening of Bengali films in every cinema hall
New Delhi [India], August 13 (ANI): The West Bengal government has ordered the screening of at least one Bengali film each in all the cinema halls and every screen in multiplexes across the state on a regular basis. In an order issued by the state government's Information and Cultural Affairs Department, the films are to be screened during the prime time, i.e., between 3 pm to 9 pm. "After careful consideration of all aspects of the matter, and in exercise of the power conferred by sub-section (3) of section 5 of the West Bengal Cinemas (Regulation) Act, 1954, the Governor is hereby pleased to issue the following direction to all licensees of the State," the notification read. It further stated that every cinema hall and all screens in multiplexes in West Bengal must mandatorily have 365 prime time shows/screenings of Bengali films throughout the year, with at least one Bengali show per day for the 365 days. It emphasized that the prime time shows must be held only between 3 pm and 9 pm. "Necessary amendment to the West Bengal Cinemas (Regulation of Public Exhibitions) Rules, 1956 will be made in due course. This order shall come into immediate effect and will remain in force until further orders," it added. The move has been taken in the wake of growing pan-India releases in India, with the West Bengal government aiming to increase the visibility of regional cinema. Prior to this, the government had taken another move by streamlining the process of setting up mini-cinema halls in the state to focus on Bengali films and content. "Over the recent past, we are in receipt of a few proposals for setting up of infrastructure for screening of mini-cinema (with particular focus on Bengali cinema and content). This has the potential to work as a catalyst for development of Bengali film industry and the business model suggests that it might also benefit local businesses to grow further," the letter read from the office of the Chief Secretary. The changes are believed to have the potential to boost local culture and help small businesses grow. (ANI)

Armaan Malik married four times, not twice! Court summons YouTuber and his wives after lawyer's big claim
Armaan Malik, the well-known YouTuber and social media star, is under the spotlight amid shocking allegations about his personal life. A lawyer has claimed that Malik has been married four times, which could be in violation of the Hindu Marriage Act, as it only recognises the first marriage for Hindus and deems polygamy illegal. Following these claims, a court has issued summons to Malik and his wives, requiring their appearance to address the legal issues surrounding his marriages. The revelations have ignited widespread debate online and in the media, with fans and critics sharing strong opinions on the controversy. Court summons Armaan Malik and wives over alleged polygamy and religious violation Davinder Rajput has submitted a petition against Armaan Malik and his wives, Payal and Kritika Malik, alleging that Armaan Malik has been married four times, rather than just twice, which violates the Hindu Marriage Act. According to the Act, a Hindu individual is permitted to marry only once. The petition further claims that Armaan and Payal have offended religious sentiments by portraying themselves as Hindu deities, an act considered both disrespectful and punishable under the law as per Live Hindustan. About the two wives Armaan Malik lives with Armaan Malik, the popular YouTuber and former Bigg Boss OTT 3 contestant, shares his life with two wives, Payal and Kritika Malik, in an unconventional family arrangement that has attracted widespread media attention. Payal, his first wife since 2011, is a digital content creator and fitness enthusiast, and the mother of their son, Chirayu. She briefly separated from Armaan after his marriage to Kritika but later reconciled, emphasizing family unity. Kritika, who married Armaan in 2018, is also a content creator and actively features in his vlogs; they have two children together, including a son, Zaid, diagnosed with rickets in early 2025. Their unique family setup has sparked debates on polygamy and modern relationships in India, and despite legal challenges and public scrutiny, the trio continues to share their life with their audience. Who is Armaan Malik's first wife? Before his marriage to Payal Malik, Armaan Malik was reportedly wed to a woman named Sumitra at the age of 17. Sumitra, like Armaan, is from Haryana, and the couple is said to have two children together. This teenage marriage adds another dimension to Armaan's personal life, making it even more complex in light of his subsequent marriages to Payal and Kritika Malik. Is Armaan Malik married to his manager Laksh? In late 2024, rumours about Armaan Malik allegedly having a fourth wife began circulating, focusing on Laksh, the family's longtime caretaker, manager, and children's nanny. The speculation intensified after Laksh was seen wearing mehendi with 'Sandeep' Armaan's real name, during Karwa Chauth celebrations and observed fasting for him, a custom typically followed by married women for their husbands. Addressing the rumours, Armaan and his second wife, Kritika Malik, clarified that Laksh has been living with them for three years, managing their children's social media and assisting with daily tasks. Kritika emphasised that Laksh is considered a close family member, akin to an aunt, and not Armaan's wife. Despite these explanations, speculation persists, though no official confirmation of a fourth marriage has emerged.
